Lol at an angry minority attempting to gain influence through shouting down speakers and making veiled threats of violence because they have
nothing to offer when it comes to civil debate.
Violence and the threat of violence is used by groups seeking to bypass the civic debate/government process as well as the rule of law. Lynchings, armed "guards" at election booths, etc.
The process of government is the alternative to violence. We have these debates and our democratic process of electing representatives so that society can work out its differences in a peaceful manner. An armed citizenry alone is NOT the basis of our freedoms. Free elections, open debates, free speech, and the rule of law are the basis of our freedoms.
While we are encouraging democratic processes in the Mid East, Iran, and Africa, we are witnessing these right-wing groups trying to sabatoge our own democratic process at home. Imagine how
stupid we look to the rest of the world when they see these fools on TV shouting down Congressmen and packing heat at town halls.
